commit 6553896666433e7efec589838b400a2a652b3ffa upstream.
Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected against instrumentation for various reasons:
- Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86.
- With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it.
Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling that no unsafe functions are invoked.
Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check later.
Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end()
These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls into regular instrumentable text section as safe.
The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a kernel compiled with this option.

[Nicolas: Guard noinstr macro in include/linux/compiler_types.h in __KERNEL__ && !__ASSEMBLY__, otherwise noinstr is expanded in the linker script construct.
Upstream does not have this problem as many macros were moved by commit 71391bdd2e9a ("include/linux/compiler_types.h: don't pollute userspace with macro definitions"). We take the minimal approach here and just guard the new macro.

--- Technically guarding with !__ASSEMBLY__ should be enough, but there seems to be no reason to expose this new macro when !__KERNEL__, so let's just match what upstream does.
Changes in v2: - Guard noinstr macro by __KERNEL__ && !__ASSEMBLY__ to prevent expansion in linker script and match upstream.
